VCTMS Announce Guest-Heavy New Album ‘pain processing II’

VCTMS have confirmed the next chapter in their evolving heavy sound, announcing their upcoming album ‘pain processing II’, due out May 01st.

The release serves as a direct follow-up to the band’s 2024 effort ‘pain processing.’, though the group says the new material pushes far beyond a simple continuation. Pre-orders for the record are currently available through the band’s official webstore.

According to the band, the new album expands both their sonic direction and thematic scope, leaning deeper into emotional intensity and controlled chaos.

“Rather than simply continuing where the previous release left off, ‘Pain Processing II’ expands our vision—diving further into themes of struggle, reflection, and release. Each track feels like another stage of the process, where aggression and honesty collide in waves of controlled brutality. It’s heavier, darker, and more focused. We understand exactly what we want this sound to be.

As a follow-up, ‘Pain Processing II’ doesn’t just revisit familiar ground—it intensifies it. The result is a relentless, cathartic chapter, proving our evolution is far from over.”

The album will feature a wide range of guest appearances, reinforcing the collaborative nature of the project. Two of those collaborations have already surfaced publicly, including last week’s release of “burning/bones,” which features Extortionist.
